^^ correct... your mainly seeing the condenser. Look at when you get a chance and you will see that the radiator is behind it. I think when i did mine I picked up some high heat engine paint or something but it really doesn't matter. Just a couple of light coats and your good :top:

So what you see here is what the Radiator or the AC Condensor :dontknow: I thought it was the Radiator :hmmmm2:

And as far as paint which Duplicolor would work High Heat or Engine Enamel :dontknow:

Its from the a/c. I would go for high heat. Another thing is that they sell special paint for radiators, might be that those pass on heat easier.

where did you tie them too :dontknow:

 

[Organic Mechanic]

complete

Got a few small things I need to touch up, but it is generally done. I also added a rubber body-kit grommet to center part of the front skirt, to fill in for a piece I removed.

Something is still missing... and its the headlights, which I should get in a week or two. They will tie everything together, and it will look perfect.


I am also thinking of adding a red TOYOTA badge in the bottom right corner.

The main grill and lower bumper opening are secured with zip ties. The upper grill had 3 factory spots that worked. I added a few 45deg small door hinge brackets with some mounting tape, and zip tied to them.

The corner triangles are glued in with a two part, collision repair structural glue that I got from one of the body-shop guys at Heintz.

That looks sick man :top:
I would do that, but I don't think that my URD air intake will fit behind the grill if its recessed :hmmmm2:

Love the way that looks. Good Job :top:

I think it might. The stock grill is thick and whenyou do the recessed grill it's just as far back as the stock grill is thick

ah, then it should work fine for you. its a little tight in there, but it fits. be ready to protect the maf sensor though.

thats what I was afraid of. My truck already has issues in heavy rains. :thumpdown:

 

[beastbluetaco]

Looks awesome!!

 

[gixxerman11]

it does look good u can put some plastic gutter screen behind it so u dont have to paint it

 

[Organic Mechanic]

I'm going to move the horn and see how it looks, but Ill probably end up painting it.

Summit racing has some dupli-color Radiator paint, Ill probably order up some of that.

I used their brake caliper paint kit on my Rx-7 and it worked great.
